Advertising for the Game? Videos?
« on: September 14, 2026, 01:50:38 PM »
I was watching youtube and saw some videos advertising War Thunder. That got me thinking, why aren't there any advertised videos of combat action for AH? I don't mean the long-form type sorties that players make, but videos aimed at gamers, like old school gaming montages?

Does anyone make these now? If so, why aren't we using those to promote the game and get more numbers? Maybe im old but I feel like this would bring more life to the game.

Agree with this statement... good AH videos on the YouTube site can attract new pilots. I will try, but I am really not good as a video editor, but I'm sure there are a lot of good ones in this game that should help and generate them... :salute

I made a promo video for AH2 back when I flew regularly. I believe that fast-paced kill videos and competitive reels attract more players and gets rivalries going. I'd make more if I still played. Hell, if I had AH3 footage, I'd probably make new ones just for fun.

Here was my first attempt. I think I did pretty good.



Without trying to stir drama, I feel Skyyr's vids would be good advertisements for fast-paced combat footage, but I doubt Hitech and he are on talking terms  :noid

His AH3 stuff was pretty awesome. Players should post more stuff like this. This would attract me if I hadn't heard of AH before.





I saw Hitech is releasing updates again. If he intends to do AH4, we definitely need more community films being posted.

What do you use to edit your films?

I used Sony Vegas. The Adobe stuff is better, but you can find "free" versions of Vegas and Vegas is geared towards quicker production for casual users (but less versatility).

The video is great, the sound tracks take away from it for me. I like to hear guns firing, throttle changes, flaps, radio chatter. When I watch a video with a soundtrack I mute it right away but that's just me.

Devinci Resolve is a very powerful program and is free for the main version. Studio version costs. I love it, lots of tutorials on line to figure out how to do stuff.

Im always looking for films to make more videos for my channel.

When ever I post a new one I drop it on every site I can. With more and more guys from the game "viewing", "liking", and "subscribing" to my "Shorts" page it pushes the algorithms which is why I always ask people to do those things. That gets YouTube to add them to the suggestion list when ever someone looks at a DCS, WarThunder, or just looking at WWII info pages. The more often the videos pop up, the more often people click on them, the more likely we get new players checking out Aces High.

If I did more killing I might add a "action" film to my page, but to get enough kills would take me a year or two   :D
